Is Your iPhone 7 Plus Running on Fumes? Don't Panic, We've Got You Covered (Literally, with a Case)
Ah, the iPhone 7 Plus. A classic. But let's face it, batteries don't last forever, and sometimes it feels like your phone needs a nap after just a few hours of Pokémon Go (because who doesn't love catching 'em all, right?). Fear not, fellow trainer (or social media scroller, we don't judge), for there are ways to extend that precious battery life and keep your iPhone 7 Plus from going into hibernation mode.
Here are some tips that are as effective as a Pikachu's Thunderbolt (without the⚡️):
-
Turn Down the Brightness: Your phone screen might be brighter than your future, but it's also a battery guzzler. Think of it as dimming the lights to save on the electricity bill... for your phone. Just head to the Control Center and slide that brightness bar down like you're doing the Macarena (remember that dance?).
-
Low Power Mode: Your Phone's Superhero Cape: This built-in feature is basically Captain Planet for your battery. It reduces background activity, like email fetching that feels more like a chore than a superpower anyway. Enable it in Settings > Battery and watch your battery percentage rise like a superhero on a mission.
-
App Arrest: Wrangle Those Battery Hogs: Some apps are sneaky energy vampires. Check your Battery Usage stats (Settings > Battery) to see which apps are draining your juice the fastest. If an app is acting shady, consider deleting it or using it less (gasp, I know).
-
Location, Location, Location... Maybe Not? Unless you're playing real-life Pokemon Go (which would be awesome), constantly allowing apps to track your location is a big battery drain. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and fine-tune those permissions. Remember, your phone doesn't always need to know where you are (unless you lose it, then by all means, track that sucker down!).
-
Silence the Notification Noise: Those little red badges and notification dings might seem harmless, but they add up. Go to Settings > Notifications and silence the ones you don't absolutely need to hear about right away (like that neighbor's cat who just posted another hairball picture on Catstagram).
Bonus Tip: Invest in a Battery Case (Because Portable Power is Your Friend): If you're a hardcore phone user (we salute you!), consider getting a battery case. It's like giving your phone a high five with extra energy. Just be prepared for some serious bulk in your pocket. Think of it as fashion for the tech-savvy warrior.
By following these tips, you can be sure your iPhone 7 Plus lasts longer than a Snorlax nap. Remember, a little effort goes a long way, and who knows, you might even save enough battery to catch a rare Mewtwo (but that's just wishful thinking).
